Synthetic Linear Analysis: Improved Attacks on CubeHash and Rabbit

Serge Vaudenay, Willi Meier, Yi Lu

It has been considered most important and difficult to analyze the bias and find a large bias regarding the security of crypto-systems, since the invention of linear cryptanalysis. The demonstration of a large bias will usually imply that the target crypto ...

Related-Key Attack against Triple Encryption based on Fixed Points

Serge Vaudenay

Triple encryption was proposed to increase the security of single encryption when the key is too short. In the past, there have been several attacks in this encryption mode. When triple encryption is based on two keys, Merkle and Hellman proposed a subtle ...

Using the Cloud to Determine Key Strengths

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung

We develop a new methodology to assess cryptographic key strength using cloud computing, by calculating the true economic cost of (symmetric- or private-) key retrieval for the most common cryptographic primitives. Although the present paper gives the curr ...

Front-Crawl Propulsive Phase Detection Using Inertial Sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi, Florent Crettenand

Front crawl is an alternating swimming stroke technique in which different phases of arm movement induce changes in acceleration of limbs and body. This study proposes a new approach to use inertial body worn sensors to estimate main temporal phases of fro ...

Neutrality-Based Symmetric Cryptanalysis

Shahram Khazaei

Cryptographic primitives are the basic components of any cryptographic tool. Block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions are the fundamental primitives of symmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, the communicating parties perform essentially ...

The Improbable Differential Attack: Cryptanalysis of Reduced Round CLEFIA

Cihangir Tezcan

In this paper we present a new statistical cryptanalytic technique that we call improbable differential cryptanalysis which uses a differential that is less probable when the correct key is used. We provide data complexity estimates for this kind of attack ...

Efficient Cache Attacks on AES, and Countermeasures

Dag Arne Osvik

We describe several software side-channel attacks based on inter-process leakage through the state of the CPU's memory cache. This leakage reveals memory access patterns, which can be used for cryptanalysis of cryptographic primitives that employ data-depe ...

Discovery and Exploitation of New Biases in RC4

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad

In this paper, we present several weaknesses in the stream cipher RC4. First, we present a technique to automatically reveal linear correlations in the PRGA of RC4. With this method, 48 new exploitable correlations have been discovered. Then we bind these ...

Practical unconditionally secure two-channel message authentication

Atefeh Mashatan

We investigate unconditional security for message authentication protocols that are designed using two-channel cryptography. (Two-channel cryptography employs a broadband, insecure wireless channel and an authenticated, narrow-band manual channel at the sa ...

A Mobile World of Security

Rüdiger Urbanke, Christina Fragouli, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Christine Neuberg

Mobile users are increasing fast in numbers, new types of services and applications become available, and new mobile systems (e.g., for intelligent transportation) emerge. Meanwhile, the need for securing communication in such large scale, highly dynamic s ...
